== Perhaps it's the poor lighting in Ten Forward, but Kalli has dark brown hair. They are the same height though. Who knows, in the right light they might just be able to be mistaken for sisters...at least until they speak or Kalli shows off her strength. She works out more than she needs to. ==
Kalli had barely managed to make her clumsy version of an introduction, when a redheaded Medical officer swooped in. It was quite evident that she was stating her claim on Lt Hoekstra, which Kalli found entertaining. She was careful to only smile and not say anything directly addressing it, as she did understand that on a ship, some were competitive over partners. Having no desire to try and explain that there was no interest in finding a new boyfriend, or sharing that her last was a 7 foot tall Mirak, there was no need for this display. However, given that a display had been made, the best course of action was not to deny an attempt was being made, but to grant the lady her victory.
Kalli took the offered hand and responded warmly, "Kalli Thorn. I'm relieved to see him in good hands. He looked as if he was ready to faint. I'm not much for crowds myself, so it's pretty easy to recognise someone who appears to have similar anxiety from time to time. We tend to hide on the fringes of gatherings like this."
With new people now starting to populate her table, Kalli touched a key on the top corner of her PADD that engaged "Silent Running" on DeeDee. The PADD was also actively streaming an incredible amount of data, so to remove the distraction, she tapped another key and it switched to a default menu instead. She would review the information later.
Taking a sip of her tranya, Kalli asked, "Would you care for anything to drink? With it getting so busy, I might be able to help you getting something faster than fighting for the replicator or waiting for the staff to make their way to you."
As if to demonstrate, Kalli tapped a couple of keys on her PADD again and a small bowl of mixed nuts appeared in front of her on the table. Kalli gave a devilish smile accompanied by a playful raising of an eyebrow and took a nut to pop into her mouth. "As I was telling Mister Hoekstra here, unconventional is sort of my thing."
